They said the same of a certain junior senator from Illinois. Why do people think Sanders can't win when all evidence points to the contrary.
Sanders is sticking to the core liberals. That solid 25-35% that will actually vote. Hillary is trying to pursue centre, swing voters and losing the liberal core. Trump is doing the same on the right.
Hillary and Jeb assumed they had the left and right core voters, respectively, locked up and both have been proven completely wrong.
- jandrese 11y agoSanders can't seem to connect with Black and Latino voters, and if you can't do that you aren't going to win a Democratic primary. Minorities love Hillary, for reasons that are not entirely clear to me. Also, Bernie supporters skew very young, and young people are relatively bad at making to their polling places, especially in primary races. He has basically no chance of taking Nevada for example, and will probably be down by tens of points. If the election is close at all there it will be a major win for him. Also, the establishment Democrats see him as George McGovern 2.0 and are terrified of giving Donald Trump a 49 state sweep.
